As you could see from the link in my previous post, Mallien is mapped as a node.

I dont know if this is the case in Maillen. If there exists such a section of level 9, it must be entered in OSM. If there is no section, streets could be tagged with is_in <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:is_in> If those sections are not specified, the map cannot find a street in Maillen so you must either enter Assesse or try another OSM map (no guarantee it work either) or a commercial map." So in order to make OFM work, we need the boundaries for Mallien as a relation. We do not have them in OSM at this moment. Those borders are hard to get. I don't know the situation for this in Wallonia. In Flanders we have a lot of admin-level 9 boundaries (deelgemeenten), but even there the list is not complete. Maybe Julien Fastré or André know more about this. In general, we have to base ourselves on out-of-date maps for the borders. We are not allowed to copy them from Google or other institutions that ask a lot of money for that data. Sometimes governments open up a datasource with those boundaries. This is not the case in Belgium. Furthermore most recent databases from the government do not care about those "deelgemeenten", which makes it even harder to get access to a source to use. regards m On Tue, Dec 23, 2014 at 6:01 PM, Alain Bourgeois <alain.bourge...@skynet.be> wrote: > I tried the Benelux map downloaded 6 months ago – same problem. > > I reported the trouble on the forum ( > http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=473300#p473300) and they > sent me to Belgian team. > > > > Bien à vous, > > Alain Bourgeois > > +32 496 51 85 75 > > http://www.kineuro.com > > > > *From:* Marc Gemis [mailto:marc.ge...@gmail.com] > *Sent:* mardi 23 décembre 2014 17:37 > *To:* OpenStreetMap Belgium > *Subject:* Re: [OSM-talk-be] city names - bug in OFM? > > > > > > On Tue, Dec 23, 2014 at 5:24 PM, Alain Bourgeois < > alain.bourge...@skynet.be> wrote: > > Maillen > > > The good news is that the village is in the OSM-data [1]. > > The bad news is that we now have to find out why it does not appear in the > map you have downloaded. > > Did you try the the Benelux Full version [2] ?
